Kindle Café was conceived in the belly of San Francisco’s gourmet ghetto – the Tenderloin. There, amidst the most authentic of the city’s ethnic restaurants, Kindle Café was born into a tiny studio overlooking the southern skyline.
2005, Chef Vincent Peterson, inspired by a single visit to a “Blind Pig” in Sebastapol, California, transforms his home into a “secret cafe” and invitations were issued to a handful of colleagues and friends.
2006, news of a local “Supper Club” spreads like honey among adventurous epicures and the invitation list grew. Live music began to compliment the scene, and Kindle Café was counted among the phenomenon of “underground restaurants”.
2007, Kindle Café begins to “pop-up” in new unlikely-dining locations in the Bay Area.
2008, Vincent explores India and Nepal, and Europe. Late that same year he relocates to his hometown of Lambertville, NJ and begins hosting Supper Clubs at Rojo’s Roastery, a local coffee shop.
2009 and 2010 Kindle Cafe expands its unlikely venues to include a local fire house and an unusual event called Soupçon Salon. The concept and the food attract a lot of attention, including a Sunday, November 14th feature in the New York Times.
2011, Kindlé Cafe reaches a turning point. The momentum to open a steady location was great, but so was the desire to keep moving, changing, and presenting fresh ideas.
2012, Kindlé Cafe operates as a private chef service offering Cooking Classes, Yoga and of course, Supper Clubs. Vincent also travels to facilitate food service at Yoga centers and to present at culinary academies.
